EAOW 藝藥 - Ist Kommt (LG004 Cassette)

$10.00

Released 2/5/16.

EAOW announce themselves to the world with Ist Kommt. The trio patch modular synthesizers into pop matrixes, and then spray everything with corrosive surf guitar. EAOW’s music exists according to its own logic, spiraling arpeggios swirling for minutes before a chorus arrives in the last seconds of a song. Spindly guitar and hand-trigged synthetic drums fold into each other to create chewy, addictive moments that surface only once. Crooned lyrics explain that systems that create the music, or just declare that “nothing is special.” The best comparison might be a dusty old tape with one perfect synth pop song surrounded by howling noise, but EAOW fuse the bleak and the bright, noise and order, into every single song. Pulsate, pulsate.
